A Brief Bio:
Maria brings a wealth of diving expertise and a global perspective to her role as Junior Travel Consultant at Bluewater Travel. Based in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico—at least for now, until the diving travel bug bites again—Maria has been diving since 2010. What started as a summer job in Honduras while she was at university in Canada quickly turned into a full-time career in the Mayan Riviera, where she worked at various resorts, became a full-cave diver, and even owned and managed her own dive shop.
Fluent in Spanish, English, and French, Maria has combined her passion for diving with marine conservation and photography. She has managed marine conservation and research sites in Honduras, Cuba, and Croatia, where she taught students safe diving practices, buoyancy control, and underwater photography. Her research dives have taken her to stunning locations like Indonesia and Mexico, deepening her love for the underwater world.
Warm-water diving is her favorite, and she always has her camera ready to capture the beauty beneath the surface. When she’s not diving, Maria enjoys exploring new destinations, capturing moments through her lens, and helping others plan unforgettable dive adventures.
